Well, first off, I never review anything (as I'm a lazy bum!) but I absolutely adore this foundation brush! Someone today has already complimented my skin and asked me if I've done something new and this is just from using the GOSH foundation brush.
I already use their primer (which is also my favourite) and blusher brush but I'll definitely be buying more GOSH products, love all of their stuff so far.

I have makeup brush and Kabuki (powder brush) and they are both beautiful. They work so well!

I have 324 foundation brush which works wonders on me. It is unbelievably soft and fluffy and makes my foundation glide on like a dream, plus because it's quite wide, it's also fast to use. Faster at least than my old crappy brush that did nothing else than left streaks behind on my face. With 324 I can buff my foundation on so there are no lines or streaks whatsoever. So in a nutshell, pure love.
There's just one con I want to mention. Cleaning this brush is pretty annoying, since the foundation somehow sticks like a glue in the hair! No matter do I use the foundation sits there stubbornly. Currently I'm using Loreal True Match, which in all honesty isn't the most everlasting product on earth so that shouldn't be an issue..

So I have their dome shaped eyeshadow brush, regular eyeshadow brush & angled brush
DOME SHAPED EYESHADOW BRUSH
this is a small stiff brush which is domed shaped (obviously- hence the name of the brush!) which is GREAT for applying colour to your crease, inner corner and brow bone. Totally worth it for the price you buy!
EYESHADOW BRUSH
just a regular eyeshadow. BUT it does pick up colour and applies nicely- almost like mac 239 but not as dense- but I still think it does the job really well considering its price
ANGLED BRUSH
I use this brush to apply my bobbi gel liner and it works well! And the price is affordable
POWDER & BLUSH BRUSH
I don't own this brush but there was a "tester" in the shop so I had a look- the scratchiest brush ever :( felt scratchy even on my hand.. I guess you could use conditioner or something to make the brushes smoother.. but not worth buying

OVERALL APPEARANCE
the brushes do look pretty professional! :)
the handles of the brush is a matte black with GOSH PROFESSIONAL ART printed on it
Can't say if they're durable or not but I've had them for around a year and none haven't broken (or chipped yey) yet continued >>

I bought the stippling brush and the foundation brush and am disappointed with both. The stippling brush sheds and sheds and sheds! I have never experienced a time where the brush hasn't shed when I'm applying foundation, and I use it like everyday DD: And it's annoying cos it's just tiny little hairs that shed so it's a pain to try pick them out your foundationy skin!
Performance-wise it's ok, it does apply well I admit but sometimes I have to keep going over the same place to make sure the foundation blends in. I also use it for blush.
So it's meh-meh for me.
For the foundation brush - I wish I never bought it! Unlike the stippling brush which had some good points about it, the foundation brush is just all round crap T___T It's crap at blending and applying and it also seems to dry out my skin? The hairs are quite rough aswell.
DON'T BUY IT!!

brought this recently as i was using my jemma kidd duo brush to death, i really like duo brushes for applying my foundation and wanted another one. Its a little bigger than the jemma kidd one, (between the two i feel i have dupes of the mac 188 and 187 now) with longer bristles. Its quite dense and I really like the softness and it works well on giving that airbrushed effect, only downside is it does shed a bit, hopefully over time this will stop. not a bad price (paid £12 at superdrug) so was a bit cheaper than the jemma kidd one and definatly cheaper than the mac. I dont have the mac ones so cant say how it compares to them but as its cheaper im happy with it.

i have just bought the foundation brush for in my work kit. Its that soft, workable and lovely that i'll definately buy one for my own use. I now have a good collection of mac/benefit brushes. My original kit is crown and although i adore my mac brushes, i'd happily carry on replacing my crown crushes with gosh ones. My only bugbear is they dont have a concealer brush as far as i have seen. Great value brushes, this was £10. Even better when, as previously mentioned, superdrug have a 3 for 2 offer. Its on currently, so i'm off to buy some more :-) x x

I got the blush brush.
This brush is good. Not great though. It really does apply blush rather decently and blends ok, and I often use it for contouring my cheekbones, too, as it is slightly domed so its sides are a bit cut.
What I don't like about this brush is the way the hairs feel on my skin. They feel so harsh and unnatural. Still they say on the package that the hairs are all natural, but somehow I'm not quite believing that...
Also, the hairs starting falling off a bit the moment I unwrapped it (I always handle it gentle, so that's not the problem).
So overall, this is a pretty decent brush for applying blush and contouring your cheekbones, but the hairs don't feel so great and are falling off.

I think these are the best high-street brushes I've ever used.
My favourites are...
Stippling brush: Very similar to the 187. Shed slightly on the first few uses, now I've washed it a few times it doesn't shed at all. Lovely airbrushed look with cream or liquid foundations.
Round eyeshadow brush: It looks like the 219 (pencil brush) but behaves like the 217 (blending brush) so it's really versatile. A great all-rounder for precisely applying colour in the outer corners and crease and softly blending them in. I would have to use two brushes from MAC to get the same effect as this one. Love it!
Foundation brush: Soooooo soooooooft! Large brush but soft enough to do the nose and round the eyes. Also works for contouring.

Great range of make up brushes for an affordable price. I have the large powder brush.

The bristles are quite soft, and very dense, does its job very well! When I bought it, I did not notice any "funky" scent you sometimes get with brushes. I have also washed it a few times, it's shed a little bit, but that's natural since I use it often and it's quite dense.

Only been able to get a hold on the powder one, but if I could get the stippling + foundation ones (similar to MAC 187+190), then I will be buying those as well.

I will be repurchasing from this brand and I will recommend this to others.

I bought the GOSH professional art stippling brush yesterday, and i must say i am VERY dissapointed.It sheds like crazy! If I apply my foundation more than 5 hairs stick on my face, and believe me, its no fun picking them off.
I wouldnt buy it again because of the amount hairs it sheds.

I love these brushes! I've never been able to afford mac and have only ever ahd bad brushes but these are super. I have 3 eyebrushes. its best to buy when they have a 3 for 2 offer, some superdrug stores include the brushes in this offer so it makes them a lot cheaper. I will definatly buy these brushes again. i have no idea about the shedding, btu that might only be for the face brushes. Eyeshadow brushes don't shed one bit and easy to wash :D

I'm really annoyed, I've been coveting this brush for ages as I didn't want to pay the price for Mac's version. I'm going to return it because it sheds like crazy. I've washed it well several times but it's still doing it. It's crap for putting foundation on because all the little hairs stick to your face, I had 23 hairs stuck to me after one application. NOT fun to pick off. I feel the bristles are too long for any precision work and the handle is also too long, I kept whacking the mirror with it when trying to stipple my foundation. I guess it would be an ok length for just normal powder application though.
Disappointed, especially when the other GOSH brushes I have are so good.

I really wanted to get the MAC 187 as soon as I saw it being used, it gave a flawless air-brushed non streaky look to your foundation and that was exactly what I was looking for!
Being quite tight with money at the moment, I really couldn't afford that stippling brush and therefore tried to look for alternatives, I came across the one from GOSH for around £13 and instantly had to buy it!
I came home and used it straight away, and it worked fantastic! The first brush I had ever used with foundation and I was amazed. It was really worth it. If I ever loose this brush or break it, I will buy a new one in an instant. Top marks!

I have the Gosh! professional art powder brush and blush brush.
well, they are quit nice but when you washed it about 5 times the powder brush isn't anymore what it was .. and it does not hold very well powder.

I got the foundation brush by mistake, as my mother got me that instead of the 'Stippling' brush I had asked for her to get me while on a visit to the UK. It is one of the softest brushes I own. It works great for whatever I use it for.

I have bought the 'Stippling' brush recently, just because I wanted a MAC 187 but couldn't afford it. ;)
The first time, all it did was shed its bristles. I was soo disappointed!But after a firm wash, it didn't shed anymore.
Now, it's a great brush! Applies my foundation well and even. It looks great, and feels very soft!
For the price, it's a great brush!

I bought the GOSH stippling brush a few weeks back for around £12 and wow does it make a difference to my foundation! It makes my liquid foundation look airbrushed and even, applies really well and the bristles are soo soft. Love this brush so much, very easy to use. The only thing I would say is it's hard to apply with on the edges of my forehead and eyebrows as the head is quite big and those areas are small, but I just do those bits with my fingers or you could use a small flat foundation brush there. Great product, really looking forward to trying the other GOSH brushes now!

I'm always searching for great brushes, CHEAP brushes, that won't break my wallet but work well. GOSH brushes do that, they're not super cheap, but a lot cheaper than some high end brands that i own. I don't think mine have ever shed a single bristle. LOVE THESE, recommend them to everyone i can.

First I have to say that I split my review in half, since I have different opinions on the various brushes. The blush brush is as the reviewer below said not so good as it startet to lose hair at the first time I used It. However the powder brush is great! I have two of them, and one of them has lasted 2 years, and I have washed them without problem. Therefore I would highly recommend the powder brush, but I am not that satisfied with the blush brush.
